After running a few games at the back end of 2017 using Target for Tonight I was enthused to take another look at tweaking the system to allow a series of games to be played in a linked campaign.

Wanting not to alter the basic mechanics too much in what is a very entertaining system, I have now put together a new set of add on rules, Main Force Target for Tonight, which allows for a bathtub campaign to include the four main types of aircraft used in its offensives in 1943.

This weekend I will get to road-test the system at the Devon Wargames Club meet up, so if you would like to see progress too date then just follow the link to JJ's

Looks a really good project.

Your planes look good. Are they 1/300th?
Where'd you get the letter decals from?

The Stirling looks good.

Thanks for posting, B

Very interested to see how this turns out.

Well done.

Anyone with interest in this set of rules will be welcome on our Target for Tonight Facebook group where we too have come up with some clarifications, interesting houserules and tweaks.

Looks neat.

Love those nicely painted 1/300th minis.

The smaller ones appear to be 1/1200th in scale, which I considered too, but decided not to proceed with, since they're so expensive – cost more here in the USA than the very nice, 1/600th scale offerings too.

I've been considering making my own bomber and NF squadron markings, since no one seems to do them as one decal, and I certainly don't want to do one letter at a time for many aircraft. Might not be too bad for one or two, or even three, but seems rather daunting to me for a whole squadron or three.
